Zhan Zeye walked in holding his coat, with a puzzled look on his face, not understanding how the topic of favoring boys over girls came up.
However, when he saw Hongmei, he subconsciously looked at Tang Qiyue.
He had just returned, so naturally he didn't know what had happened.
Xu Qiuju and Zheng Hongjuan were both a little afraid of Zhan Zeye, so they asked Hongmei to go to Xu Qiuju's house. The young couple must have something to say.
Zhan Zeye looked at the closed door and asked, "What's going on?"
Tang Qiyue told Zhan Zeye about Hongmei, and Zhan Zeye tutted, "You can't control this kind of thing!"
Ultimately, this is someone else's family affair and outsiders should not interfere.
Tang Qiyue also knew this, but she just felt that Hongmei was too pitiful.
The little girl was also burned.
Zhan Zeye had just gotten off the boat and was still smelling. He threw his clothes to Tang Qiyue and went to take a shower.
It's not that he likes to be clean, it's just that Tang Qiyue can't stand the smell of sweat on his body. After spending these few months together, Zhan Zeye has also developed a habit of taking a shower when he gets home whenever he sweats.
Taking a shower is convenient anyway, and he won't go against Tang Qiyue over such a trivial matter.
After taking a quick shower, Zhan Zeye was not afraid of the cold and went into the house wearing only a single layer of clothes.
The room was warm enough because of Tang Qiuyue. Zhan Zeye wiped off the water droplets on his short hair and shook off all the moisture.
"I'll talk to Hongmei's father when I go to the military camp later. Don't worry about it. If the little girl's arm is seriously injured, I think she'll need your help to treat it!"
Zhan Zeye had been treated by Tang Qiuyue's therapeutic device and knew how magical it was.
Tang Qiyue agreed.
It was time for dinner, and Tang Qiyue asked Zhan Zeye whether he wanted to eat in the cafeteria or at home.
Zhan Zeye was too lazy to run to the cafeteria, so he stayed at home and had dinner with Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiuyue's space always has various ready-made foods, the most common of which is roujiamo. This food is easy to store and heat, and most importantly, it tastes good.
She took out seven and ate two, and the other five went into Zhan Zeye's stomach.
Although they were not full, they relieved their hunger. Tang Qiyue made a soup with vegetables from the yard. While drinking the soup, Zhan Zeye talked to Tang Qiyue about the gains from this trip to the sea.
Although he went out to sea for a mission, Zhan Zeye was not idle either. He still caught a lot of deep-sea fish.
He handed the space ring to Tang Qiyue: "See if there is anything I can exchange for points!"
Tang Qiyue was not polite.
These things are all necessary for her.
As long as it is edible, the system will give points, and the points are very high.
A small portion was left for himself to eat, and the rest was exchanged for points by Tang Qiuyue. Now the problem of exchanging cloth was solved.
After dinner, Zhan Zeye still had to go to the military camp, but he hadn't seen Tang Qiyue for a few days, so how could he leave so easily? He hugged her and kissed her until his lips were numb, then he let Tang Qiyue go and left happily.
Tang Qiuyue took out an ice cube and applied it to her lips for a while, fearing that they would become too red and swollen and be teased by Xu Qiuju and the others.
After looking in the mirror and feeling that there was nothing wrong, he went to the next yard.
Hongmei had fallen asleep on the bed in Xu Qiuju's house. The little girl sobbed from time to time while she was sleeping, and it was obvious that she was not restful even in her sleep.
"The little girl is very patient. The pain of being burned is not something that most people can endure, but she didn't even make a fuss!"
Zheng Hongjuan felt sympathy for Hongmei. She was raised and spoiled by her parents and sister, but she had also been scalded because of her naughtiness. It was just a small blister, but the pain made her cry loudly. However, Hongmei's arm was in such a state, but she didn't make a fuss except for sobbing twice.
Xu Qiuju covered the little girl with a quilt and asked them to go out and talk.
"If you ask me, this is a difficult matter. Her parents are fine. If they still don't take Hongmei seriously, her hard times will never end!"
Tang Qiyue asked curiously, "Hongmei should be in school at this age, right? Why is she at home?"
Xu Qiuju's three children are all in school and would not be at home at this time.
When this matter was mentioned, Xu Qiuju curled her lips and said, "I have an ignorant mother and a confused father!"
Hongmei's mother believed that girls would get married sooner or later and that studying was useless. In addition, she did not allow Hongmei to go to school in her hometown. After she came with the army, she did not allow Hongmei to go to school because there were many children in the family and Hongmei was old enough to help with housework and take care of her younger brother.
"Wu Zhixiong also agrees?"
Wu Zhixiong is Hongmei's biological father.
Zheng Hongjuan screamed, and Xu Qiuju slapped her: "Keep your voice down, you'll scare people awake!"
Tang Qiuyue knew that most men at this time hardly cared about family matters and let their wives make all the decisions, especially when it came to the education of girls.
"Sisters-in-law, I'm going to find my sister. Hongmei must go to school, otherwise this girl will be ruined!"
At least after studying, I will know that not all daughters have the same fate as Hongmei.
Zheng Hongjuan ran away without waiting for Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju to stop her.
"Let her go. This matter still needs Sister Zheng to step in!" Xu Qiuju sighed, but she had no problem with Zheng Hongjuan's approach.
Tang Qiyue nodded.
Hongmei woke up when Zheng Hongjuan screamed. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, folded the quilt back in its place, and walked out of the room.
Her little face was pale, and her clothes were a little too small, revealing her ankles and wrists. There were even several patches on her clothes.
It is obvious that the conditions for military dependents are still good, and they can afford to wear clothes. It is normal to have patches, but so many patches, and so many of them are small, which shows that the parents have not taken good care of their children.
"Auntie, I should go back!"
Hongmei's arms were wrapped in gauze, including her fingers, but she was still well-behaved and sensible and said she would go back, fearing that she would cause trouble for them.
Xu Qiuju has three sons, each one more naughty than the other. The most beloved one is the little girl. When she saw Hongmei's look, her heart melted.
"Oh, don't worry, just stay at my aunt's house. It's a mess over there. Wait for your parents to come pick you up before you go back!"
Xu Qiuju looked at the time. Several little brats at home had not returned from school yet, and only one of them was probably playing outside again. She was going to cook and let Hongmei eat at home.
Tang Qiyue came here after dinner. She ate a little early, but it was not convenient for her to take the little girl back to eat, so she said to Xu Qiuju, "You go cook, I'll stay with the child!"
Xu Qiuju didn't bother to be polite with Tang Qiyue and went straight to the kitchen. She didn't cook anything, but just heated up some steamed buns. When the brats came back, she would bring back some food from the cafeteria.
Tang Qiyue took out the candy that she had prepared for Hongmei. Hongmei didn't dare to take it, so Tang Qiyue opened the sugar coating on the candy and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Eating something sweet will make you feel better!"
Tang Qiyue ruffled Hongmei's hair and said, "Not all parents in this world deserve unconditional obedience. Feelings are mutual. How she treats you now is how you should treat her when she needs you in the future!"
